Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise can't stand each other!

I'm not Lisa.

Sorry, OP, but WHO CARES????

Jesus Christ, everyone is filming in London due to the whole IATSE contract negotiations. Both WB/New Line/DC and Marvel has made it their homebase.

IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU TOM.

This is delicious. It's Crawford and Davis all over again

Are the Brits ok with Tom’s diabolical crackpot religion?

Team Brad.

[quote] Are the Brits ok with Tom’s diabolical crackpot religion?

I'm sure he's preaching the Gospel of XENU to the Brits.

Maybe even opening a new Temple there.

Go, Tom!

Well look at all the muslims they tolerate.

^ You know how those Brits are 🙄

Rumor has it that Tom wanted to tap Brad's ass when they were filming IWTV all those years ago, and Brad wasn't interested.

Everybody wanted to tap Brad's ass in 1994, R11.

Speaking of, I love this photo.

Big stars!

You can just feel the tension here.

Early 90s Tom was cute AF. I totally would've jumped on it.

Amateurs

They both were, R14.

Brad was such a beauty.

I would love to see what an adult son of Angelina and Brad would look like.

He'd probably be stunning.

R4 Yet gayer.

Tom is such a control freak that I'm sure he tried to push Brad around acting like he was the bigger star and Brad probably just blew him off

I thought they had a rift because Bead refused Tom's advances.

[quote] Tom is such a control freak that I'm sure he tried to push Brad around acting like he was the bigger star and Brad probably just blew him off

At that point in 1994, Tom was still the bigger star.

He was in The Outsiders, Risky Business, Top Gun, Color of Money, Rain Man, A Few Good Men, and The Firm.

Brad's credits included a small part in Thelma & Louise, A River Runs Through It, and Kalifornia.

Clearly, Tom was THE star of "Interview With A Vampire," and he probably made that very well known to Brad.

In the end, the movie was a triumph, but it must have been hell for Brad.

Was at the premiere of IWTV in Westwood. Cruise and Pitt worked the rope. Was up close to both. Recall TC 's huge conk was peeling He resembled a young Dustin Hoffman . Kidman looked like a vampire towering over him. Totally unremarkable. Pitt with his long platinum hair and tan radiated movie star.

@r20, Ok, and Tom is still the bigger money maker, doesn't make him the better actor... "Oh look, Tom, ever see TWO of these?"

Tom was the biggest male movie star in the world in '94. Brad was well-known but not yet an A-Lister.

Well, they can’t both of them leave.

^ So?

^ If that means Brad was suppose to kiss Tom's ass on the set of Vampire it didn't happen and little Tommy is still stamping his little feet about it

Tom Cruise being so territorial about his adopted homeland that Brad Pitt’s shooting a movie there “sticks in Tom’s craw” is exactly the gossip I needed in these trying times. Thanks, OP.

" Tom was the biggest male."

Qxymoron R23

Peak Tom Cruise was more attractive than peak Brad Pitt, IMO.

Tommy has womanly hips.

^ If you like 5'2" shrimpboats sure 🙄

@r29, Yeah, right

Two CLOSETED HOMOS

[quote] Team Brad.

Brad team.

Do they even give each other any thought?

At R12, it looks like Tammy was standing on a small stool.

Tom Cruise can never, EVER eclipse Brad Pitt in sex appeal.

End of story.

[quote] Two CLOSETED HOMOS

Shut up, Antonio.

Don't pretend you haven't sucked cock, either.

Tammy was just a fug power bottom who would do anything for a part. She was no Leonard Whiting.

^^Tammy totally gave up that ass to Franco Zeffirelli, who was a notorious chicken hawk. His small part in Endless Love was his first movie role.

I have a feeling F1 is going to be an unexpected bomb.

[quote] In the end, the movie was a triumph

Was it though? Looking back, I’m kind of embarrassed for both of them.

Who likes Tom Cruise anyway?

Team Brad. 100.

[quote] I have a feeling F1 is going to be an unexpected bomb.

Hi, Tom!

Welcome to Datalounge.

The movie was much better that the current tv show.

And yes, I understand perfectly why a faithful adaptation of Anne Rice's novel could not be done today without loads of controversy. That's why the current series had to make a lot of changes to the original story.

Still, Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire was a great novel and film.

I am fully prepared for the onslaught of derision coming my way, but since this is anonymous, I am willing to declare that I would have Tom then and now. He just does it for me in ways that Brad, whilst undeniably hot, just doesn't.

Even THIS Tom, R46??

Or this Tom?

*hanging my head in lustful shame*

Yes, R47 & 48, even that Tom. We all hit the wall eventually.

They took out a lot of the homoerotic stuff from the novel. Obviously, since this was a mainstream studio movie in the early 90s and it starred Tom Cruise. They weren't going to put all the gay stuff in there. The novel is much better.

Brad will ALWAYS eclipse Tom. Every day.

[quote] They took out a lot of the homoerotic stuff from the novel. Obviously, since this was a mainstream studio movie in the early 90s and it starred Tom Cruise. They weren't going to put all the gay stuff in there.

I always thought this scene was pretty gay.

And pretty hot.

r52 that was as close as they got. It was a different era and no way in hell was a big budget studio movie going to put all the explicitly gay stuff from the novel into the movie. That just wasn't going to happen back then. And of course Tom Cruise was not going to play an explicitly gay character.

Lestat and Louis are both gay in the novels.

Cruise had that big nose that I liked. He may have had a nose job, but he was smart to not shave it down too much.

Big nose big hose

Tom was at his peak attractiveness in Top Gun (1986) when he was 24.

Everybody hates Tom Cruise so this is hardly a surprise. After all, he is heavily involved in a lecherous cult. It's impossible to take anyone seriously who is a Scientologist.

He was also very sexy in Far and Away (1992) when he was 30.

I found Tom Cruise very attractive in A Few Good Men (1992). I think the white navy uniform helped.

R40 Recall a widespread rumor that when as a 16yo she bolted from a bumfuck Kentucky seminary dyslexic with no education ,bad teeth and zero vertical acting experience Tammy Mapother turned tricks in NYC to make rent. No doubt how he met Senora Zefferelli. Papa mia!

Cantstandya!

There have been stories for decades that Cruise was a hustler in NYC when he was very young and he met the "right" people through that and that was how he got into acting. He certainly wouldn't have been the first who got to Hollywood through that path.

[quote] There have been stories for decades that Cruise was a hustler in NYC when he was very young and he met the "right" people through that and that was how he got into acting. He certainly wouldn't have been the first who got to Hollywood through that path.

Rumor is that Brad took the same path when he got to Hollywood.

Maybe the reason they hate each other is because they're just two cats on a hot tin roof.

They both seem to be bad fathers so there's that

[quote] Recall a widespread rumor that when as a 16yo she bolted from a bumfuck Kentucky seminary dyslexic with no education ,bad teeth and zero vertical acting experience

Holy shit, when you said he had bad teeth, you really weren't kidding!

I wonder why they didn't fix Tom's teeth before filming The Outsiders?

There's not a doubt in my mind that Brad Pitt gave up his ass to get ahead in Hollywood. A broke, struggling young actor who was as gorgeous as he was would've had many offers. Hell, guys who were only half as good-looking as him got ahead by giving up their asses.

Billy Pitt as a 19yo from bumfuck Missouri sold his acne scarred arse in El Lay . Lived with a sugar daddy in the Hills who later box framed his 501's and hung them on the wall. Need we mention Bill's arrest for indecent exposure for flashing an under cover cop in the men's room at Ginger Roger's gay beach. Totally expunged from his record of course.At least Billy's youthful whoring didn't warp him as much as Tammy. When asked if the vampires in Interview were just as Tammy emphatically claimed "predators" . Pitt's eye rolled reply was "It's sex .It's always sex". Team Brad.

That's the gossip I was searching for, R68.

Damn, that is some dirt!

So Brad used to cruise the men's room?

What exactly does that make him? Bisexual at the very least, right?

And who's the sugar daddy in the photo with him at R68? Brad looks quite comfortable in his arms.

R62 Amateurs

R64 Frau for brains.

R68 left out Pitt also hired 90's porn star Jake Armstrong for a tete a tete. Today's trade is tomorrow's John.

Cruise spent millions to shut up gay pornie Chad Slater blabbing about their au natural wrestling matches.

These two "hate" each other due to their similar tastes.

Miss Mapother actually looked a lot like Chad Slater. Narcissists can't handle the truth!

Geez Louise! This is DL antediluvian history.

R72 please share more!!!

These gay stories about Brad Pitt are so unexpected to me. I've never heard about this before, and it's quite exciting.

I've always heard the rumors of Brad being a toy boy when he first got to Hollywood, but never stories about AFTER he became famous.

If true, how does he keep it hidden from the tabloids, from his wives, and everyone else?? I mean, he's one of the most famous actors in the world!

Does he still engage in the homosex, even today?

Recall evenings at the old hustler bar Numbers on Hollywood Blvd with "gay Madam " David Forest. Sprawled drunk in his booth the old whoremonger would regale us with tales of pimping out Ken Ryker for 10K a nite to Geffen,Diller,Elton and Cruise. We gaylings were dubious because having seen Gary's cock we knew it to be taller than Cruise.

[quote]Jesus Christ, everyone is filming in London due to the whole IATSE contract negotiations. Both WB/New Line/DC and Marvel has made it their homebase.

Benedict Acrnolds.

Jolie in her divorcee deposition said Pitt spent all his time in a separate bedroom getting high and watching porn. What type of porn the crazy bitch didn't specify.

Who has the better wig?

[quote] the old whoremonger would regale us with tales of pimping out Ken Ryker for 10K a nite to Geffen,Diller,Elton and Cruise

Ew.

I don't care how big Ken Ryker's dick is, I would NEVER have sex with him, knowing that he also stuck his cock in those nasty old queens David Geffen, Barry Diller, and Elton John.

I can only imagine what STDs those three Typhoid Marys might be carrying.

Sounds like made up bs to me. Typical gossip rag shit.

[quote] Pitt with his long platinum hair and tan radiated movie star.

He radiates whatever woman is standing next to him at the time. The big dumb hillbilly never had an original thought or relationship in his life. He is a well-known parasite in his relationships with women eerily absorbing the woman's style, mannerisms, and even interests. For example, he was never interested in child adoption before he met Angelina, and he clearly never gave a shit about any of the kids he adopted. Everyone in Hollywood is a poser but nobody has ever been more transparent than Pitt. Glen Powell reminds me of a young Brad Pitt wannabe in terms of personality, but ironically, he made Tom Cruise his role model, not Pitt.

What's Tammy up to with moving the the UK? Is he trying to separate himself from the constant influence of that little malicious evil dwarf David 'Miscabbage'

^ My guess he's bored with Scientology sucking up to him and is looking into to being King

[quote]He radiates whatever woman is standing next to him at the time.

So then Brad Pitt is to actors what tofu is to food.

Whatever happened to little Miss Cabbage? He sure went into hiding.

Brad left Jennifer because he wanted a ton a kids, and she didn't want any. I think the mistake he made was joining a ready made family lead up by an evil bitch like Angelina. But I'm more than sure when they were dating she was on her best behavior. The poor guy didn't see the real Angie until she was confident she had him tightly in her evil clutches and her batshittery rose to the surface. And when things started going south she decided to ruin him in any way she could which included turning all his kids against him with her lies.

He made the biggest mistake so many in the movie business make, marrying another actor. It's hard to make a good marriage when both people are so ego driven

Oh no shit Sherlock. Where has the author of the thinkpiece been living?

@r89, "Brad left Jennifer because he wanted a ton a kids"

After five years of driving a Chevy Brad wanted a Ferrari 😜

And then the Ferrari Paul Walker-ed his personal life

Brad is not box office. Tom is box office.

R82 you could never afford him GRAN

@r92, "And then the Ferrari Paul Walker-ed his personal life "

No one ever said that Ferraris come without a price to pay

[quote]Tom has grown very territorial about his adopted homeland

It makes it so much easier to date in Europe.

R84 will take the "big dumb hillbilly" over the midget cult sociopath any day as he doesn't radiate mental illness.

^ Not if the little general is going to jump all over MY furniture like a bad puppy

How long before she becomes Dame Tammy?

American Royalty

Brad was something else back in the day ^

2005-2007 was the apex of celeb trash gossip culture. I cant imagine the couch jumping moment happening today. Such a fun era that was

O/T, but how does Cruise get to live in London? I can't just up and move to London. Does he come back for a week every six months? Has he been filming (a job) non-stop since 2021?

^ When you're a billionaire you can live wherever you want

^I understand that. But what is it that they do or have that allows them to live there?

If they just buy property or visit and stay without telling anyone, I could do the same. What are the mechanics of how to do it?

^ He has a Visa that he renews whenever he needs to. That's it, it's not that complicated

Wigged out dahlink

Great thread.

[quote] Glen Powell reminds me of a young Brad Pitt wannabe in terms of personality, but ironically, he made Tom Cruise his role model, not Pitt.

That's only because they filmed Top Gun: Maverick together.

I also have to think that Tom is a different person 30 years later.

Less controlling, less arrogant, less ego driven. Not to say that he isn't still those things, but time does mellow people out. He's probably more willing to share the spotlight.

Especially now that his looks are fading.

But then again, this story suggests that maybe Tom is still the same competitive person that he always was.

Egomaniacs don’t quit, especially when they are minor religious figures.

Not a shred of real evidence in that article. Bullshit.

He's the man pictured with Brad at r68.

So did young William Brad Pitt like to suck or get sucked?

Enquiring minds want to know!

IWTV may be many things, but a triumph isn't one of them. Both Cruise and Pitt give bad performances. Cruise tries too hard and he's completely miscast. Pitt mostly sleepwalks through his role.

Brad has been putting out this masculine image for so long, that I actually never realized how feminine he seems.

Frat bottom

Signing an autograph.

Hanging on a rope...

@r127: "Hey gurl!"

Now is always a good time for naked Brad 😛

Brad looking like his girlfriends (and wives).

[quote] Jolie in her divorcee deposition said Pitt spent all his time in a separate bedroom getting high and watching porn.

Fuck those two. They were always out on the red carpet, in front of the paps, acting like they had the perfect life.

In 2000, right after Brad married Jenn, an LA-native on DL reported that his mother ran in to Jenn's mother, Nancy - whom she knew socially - and asked her outright if the marriage was a real marriage or a Hollywood marriage. He reported that Jenn's mother laughed and said, "Hollywood, of course!".

I still recall the film’s opening weekend.

The line was the longest I’d seen since the opening of Grease, starring Tommy’s fellow Clam, John Travolta.

It resembled a line into a costume party or a goth nightclub, due to so many people dressed in full vampire regalia.

The 90s were SOOO fun!

R125 A plastic surgeon said his face has some feminine features. He said the male/female combo makes him very attractive.

I have never been this lean in my life.

How did he do it?

Brad never looked like he was starving, either.

His body just looked naturally skinny.

Brad is a pretty boy. What are you guys talking about?

Brad seems down to earth and Tom is in a cult.

Brad is not dating any broke bitches. I wouldn't call him down to earth. Because his hair is tousled?

[quote]What's Tammy up to with moving the the UK? Is he trying to separate himself from the constant influence of that little malicious evil dwarf David 'Miscabbage'

The Church of Scientology has an enormous estate in the English countryside. Tom Cruise has a huge apartment there.

Tom is not as naturally good looking as Brad. That is the truth. Tom had worked done in youth. Brad’s face is naturally symmetrical and he has that honey tone blonde look. Tom not ugly but he had a nose job and other minor work. And I’m not talkin bout since he’s been in older age and looking like a plastic lesbian.

However BO is always a deal breaker for me. ALWAYS.

Young Tom had his teeth fixed but that's about it. He never had a nose job.

Older Tom, however, has had a ton of work done. And he still looks his age, if not a little older.

[quote] honey tone blonde look

I think of his hair more of a dirty blond color.

I’ve never heard of Brad not getting along with costars so Tom must have been messy queen. I kid lol. I hope he didn’t try to come on to him and was rejected. He was a huge star at the time. Tom it’s ok I’ve been there. Some beautiful straight men are just that STRAIGHT.

[quote]Tom it’s ok I’ve been there. Some beautiful straight men are just that STRAIGHT.

Same. I've worked closely with some very attractive and appealing straight men and it can be quite frustrating. They are 100% straight, would never do anything with another man under any circumstances and it just drives you crazy because you're in close contact with them on a constant basis and you're just dying inside. But that's life, you have to deal with it.

I've never hit on them or made an ass of myself, thank god. You have to have some dignity and keep your feelings to yourself.

[quote] Tom it’s ok I’ve been there. Some beautiful straight men are just that STRAIGHT.

And that's fine.

But the gossip on this thread is that Brad goes both ways, and that he's also into guys.

So since he's also into men, it was within the realm of possibility that they could have hooked up, but I think the truth is that he just wasn't into Tom.

Maybe that's the source of the feud.

I know a couple of people who lived in the French Quarter when IWTV was filming there in '93. They and the residents were pissed because the streets were covered in mud to match the period where the film took place. They told me no one ever saw Tom Cruise, but Brad Pitt was always out and about at the various bars, restaurants etc. They said he was a very cool guy. Mind you, this was before he became a megastar and wasn't super-famous yet.

Before he built them all of that crap housing….

I posted above that I preferred peak Tom Cruise to peak Brad Pitt.

HowEVER ... Tom Cruise has had plastic surgery. IMO, the game changer was what he did with his jawline. Around the 5:45 mark is the jaw breakdown.

r142, he's totally had a nose job- he had the slight hump shaved straight:

R145 Especially if they like share the same interests with you and are artsy. I fell in love with my best friend in college. I still have never told him. He knows I’m gay/bi now but I I still cannot do it.

R147 We were in New Orleans at the same time. When we toured Oak Alley plantation the DOC docents had their pantaloons in a knot because the production crew had dirtied up the facade and draped Spanish moss over "their" oak trees. The three masted bark was still docked on the river. Yes the locals luved Pitt , Cruise not so much.

R146 ALL good looking Hollywood guys are gay according to DL unless their like ultra alpha like Denzel or Mel Gibson.

[quote] their like

R149 I thought it was common knowledge Tom had plastic surgery at the beginning of his career before he was famous. I remember seeing pics like that on ET or some shit as kid in the late 90s.

Brad's body is aging beautifully. Tom's body is aging like a bad loaf of sour dough bread.

r150 not until he was older. Your nose keeps growing as you age.

[quote]Tom's body is aging like a bad loaf of sour dough bread.

He's short and stocky with a barrell chest, big hips and a big ass. Guys with that kind of body have to work out and diet constantly because just a ten pound weight gain can be very noticeable. As you get older it gets much harder to keep the weight off.

[quote] [R149] I thought it was common knowledge Tom had plastic surgery at the beginning of his career before he was famous. I remember seeing pics like that on ET or some shit as kid in the late 90s.

R155, R141 said that "Tom not ugly but he had a nose job and other minor work." I posted that video to show that he had major work to his face (jaw implant, etc.). I don't think the extent of TC's plastic surgery is common knowledge for DLers.

R156 Tom is older than Brad but Brad is just so fkin perfect. Actually he’s not he stinks. But he is absolutely gorgeous. It’s almost not fair.

Period.

Full stop.

I don't think it was a jaw implant in the 80s. He lost weight and his jaw was more defined as a result. He still had baby fat when he first started then slimmed down and got a little older and his face was more defined. That happened to me when I was in my late teens/early 20s.

Maybe Tammy should challenge him to a private wrestling match

r125 When Brad smiles, purses fall out of his mouth.

I’ll never forget the story Mike Tyson told after he and Robin split up and she started dating Brad. Anyways one day Mike came over and all Brad kept saying was “Please not my face Mike” Please Please”. Mike didnt put hands on him though.

Yes! It’s in his bio book too.

[quote] Tom is older than Brad but Brad is just so fkin perfect.

Only by a year.

Tom was born in July 1962.

Brad was born in December 1963.

Less than a year.

Actually, it's about a year and five months difference.

So basically, Tom is a year and a half older.

You are correct, R169. I read the wrong year.

R167 Oh than Brad is older than what I thought. I thought he was late 60s.

Late 60s baby btw.

I’m saying I thought he was born late 60s.

Tom Cruise hit stardom very early, he was only about 21. Brad didn't hit stardom until a decade later, when he was about 31.

I've never seen Tom's dick but everyone has seen Brad's penis, not impressed at all...

Just call him T.

[quote]Tom was at his peak attractiveness in Top Gun (1986) when he was 24.

I thought he was hot as fuck in War of the Worlds (2005).

Tom has a better voice than Brad. I like a sexy voice.

Brad's smile is everything.

[quote] Brad's smile is everything.

It’s a Brad thing. You wouldn’t understand.

[quote] Brad's smile is everything.

It is, R179.

Not many men can be 60 and look this fucking good.

Naturally good.

R182 - He looks good, but he did have *good* plastic surgery.

what about brad's hair? Is that real or fake?

I think Tom's hair is not real but he looks great for his age.

[quote] what about brad's hair? Is that real or fake?

Brad'hair definitely looks real. It would be easy to see if it was fake.

He has had the same long mane, for decades.

If anything, he might color it, but that's about it.

You can see that Brad's hair is finally starting to go gray.

Yet I remind you once again that these two are just a couple of fags queening out in their golden years????

Brad has that uber sexy blue collar handsomeness about him. And anyone who thinks Tammy's voice is hotter than Brad's sexy voice is hearing impaired.

And besides, there has never been a single point in Cruise's life that he could even remotely look this sexy.

Or this.

Or this.

[quote] He looks good, but he did have *good* plastic surgery.

Brad Pitt is a plastic surgery.

R191 Though I personally would never get plastic surgery if it makes you age nicely and most importantly matches your original face I’m all here for it. Brad still looks like his 90s natural beauty just older. And he looks great.

Actually I take that back. I may get calf implants.

You do need them.

[quote] I may get calf implants

Why do that to a poor farm creature?

Tom and sexy do not belong in the same sentence R178.

Yes , they are both aging HOMOS but Brad Pitt looks a HELL of a lot better than than that Scientology FAG .

What does that make you and Ben, Matt at R196?

Pot? Meet kettle.
